Patty Blanchard (W50) ran the 800m in 2:25.02 while competing at the first annual "Dash Through the Snow" indoor meet hosted at the Universite de Moncton.
Patty’s 2:25.02 beats Kathy Martin’s W50 CAN record of 2:26.69 set in 2005, and the 2:25.28 World Record set by Caroline Marler of Great Britain in 2001
Patty’s husband and coach Marc Beaudoin says that Patty is only 4 weeks into her indoor interval training.
Marc thinks Patty has about 5 seconds of improvement in her this coming season. (Patty says 3 seconds max J)
Patty’s next race is the Mile at Cornell on Jan 19th, where she’s going to go after Maureen de St Croix’s 5:10.87 WR.
She’s looking at running a number of events in Boston at the USATF champs, and is considering the Worlds in France as well.
W50 WR’s … W50 CAN records…
